in round numbers from S42S, ,00O, 900 in
1885 to S465, ,OO0, 900 in 1886. The important
factor in the gain of s35, ,0O0,0 GOO was in
creased production of pig iron from
4,o44, ,525 tons in 1885 to 5,6S3, 1929 tons in
1856, and an appreciation of rs cents in
the average value per ton, making a

FAITH IN SHERMAN.
His Lieutenant Thinks He Will Be
Indorsed at Toledo.

Special to the Globe.
CINCINNATI, July 34.-Warner NJ.
Bateman, who in 1880 was recognized as
Sherman's lieutenant before the Repub-
lican convention, said: "You can rest
assured that the Republican state cen-
vention at Toledo next week will give
Sherman a hearty Endorsement. So
many answers to that effect have come
to me, and from so many quarters, that
feel certain of it. In spite of recent
declarations to the contrary, feel con-
fident of Sherman's nomination next
year, in spite of Blaine's acknowledged
strength. / do not believe he could be
elected, while Sherman can be. 1t would
be impossible, for instance, for Blaine
to carry Indiana, although the Republi-
cans carried the state last fall"

Chief Clerk DOherty would be there,
McGarrigle said. to make final settle
ment of the eX-warden'S accounts. Mr..
DOherty was not at McGarrigle's resi-
dence, and tonight denied having had
appointment with him. This fact,
coupled with the statements of neigh
bOrS that horse and buggy were in

house, tend to confirm the popular be-
lief that --. ~.
MATTERS WE'RE PREARRANGED.
AS the distance is within Is minutes
ride of the pier at Evanston. where
tug might easily have been taken, the
inference is drawn in some quarters
that McGarrigle is aflOat on Lake Mich
igan safe on his way to the Straits Of
Mackinac. The two persons most deeply
interested in McGarrigle'S disappear
ance were very differently affected. One
of them was Big Bluff Sheriff Watson,
who seemed utterly cast down and woe
begOne. He wandered about to-day
like an uneasy ghost. The other most
interested person was the fugitve'S
wife, petite, handsome Mrs. McGarrigle.
She took the matter very easily, say
ing she was glad her husband
was gone and claiming that he could
not be blamed for going. She persisted
in the statement that the discovery of
his departure was a total surprise to
her, and that, believing her husband
was really in the bath room, she had
fallen into doZe nursing her baby, and
knew nothing further till she heard the
sheriff rapping and shouting for Nc
Garrigle.

Who with wife, or daughter, or sister,

Chinese servant who assassinates them,

of those speechless in death that he may
establish a plea of non-intent This
non-intention doctrine as clearance
agency is devilishly devised and danger
GUS one. The man who loads deadly
weapon and goes out to do murder, but
misses on and kills another, is excellent
food for the gallows.
When B, C, or d. with murder in the
heart, shoots at E or F, but by unsteadi-
ness of nerve kills G or H, the thing to do
is to try the assassin promptly, promptly
convict and effectually hang him until he
is dead. The false logic and hair
splitting pity that saved Raten; the
sentimental weakness that pleaded for
mercy for him, and asks that doubts be en-
tertained of Hong Dis guilt, are precisely
the influences that result in manifested
contempt for the law as an agency for the
protection of life and property, and
eventuate in such scenes as the
lynching in Colusa. They are the
legitimate fruit of readiness to ac-
cept the story of every calumnious assas-
sin, who seeks to wash his bloody hands in
the reputation of his victim. 1t is the
direct, shameful and humiliating outcome
of the weak-backed and beggarly sentiment
that if the bullet does not reach the exact
spot for which the assassin intended it, he
is to be pitied and commiserated on his i'll
luck, rather than hanged for his devilish
malignity
